Sources of Organic and Inorganic Halogens to the Polar And Sources of Organic and Inorganic Halogens to the Polar and Temperate Marine Boundary Layer Marvin Shaw Doctor of Philosophy University of York Chemistry August 2011 Abstract Very short lived halogenated substances (VSLH) are of importance for the transport of reactive halogens to the troposphere and lower stratosphere, whereas molecular halogens are of specific importance to the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL). This thesis describes the field deployment of a ground based gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in the Canadian sub-Arctic for the determination of VSLH in seawater/sea-ice and air with a view to identify dominant sources to the MBL in the region. MBL mixing ratios of VSLH were determined from a surface site (55.28°N, 77.77°W) on the south east of Hudson Bay,(Kuujjuarapik, Canada) during the 19th -27th of February. Elevated mixing ratios of the Volatile Organic Iodine Compounds (VOIC) coincided with airmasses reaching the ground site that had previously transected regions of open water in the Bay (between 10 – 200 km away), suggesting leads/polynyas are the dominant source of VOIC within the region. This observation is supported by laboratory experiments conducted with artificial sea ice in a cold chamber (School of Earth and Environment, Leeds University) in which physico- chemical properties of the hypersaline brine, sea-ice and the underlying seawater were measured to quantify the vertical transport of a comprehensive range of volatile organic iodinated compounds (VOICs) at air temperatures of -3 and -14 oC. The results suggest that VOIC gas transfer velocities from diffusion through the sea-ice alone are at least 60 times lower at -3 ºC than gas exchange from leads and polynas during the winter (assuming a sea- ice fractional coverage of 0.1). This has significant implications for in situ VOIC losses within the brine from chlorination, hydrolysis and photolysis processes and it is unlikely that measurable concentrations of VOICs would survive vertical transport from the underlying seawater to the surface sea ice quasi-liquid layer. Further laboratory work within this thesis suggests that gaseous I2 evolution from the oxidation of iodide in the world’s oceans by atmospheric ozone is a viable source of iodine to the MBL, but its strongly constrained by the iodide and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content of the surface ocean. i Contents List of Figures viii List of Tables xv 1.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 University of Munich, Lehrstuhl für Bioklimatologie und Immissionsforschung, Am Hochanger 13, D-85354 Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] Bromine, a minor constituent in the Earth’s atmosphere – with its 50-fold higher efficiency of ozone destruction compared to chlorine – contributes significantly to the ozone hole formation and wintertime stratospheric ozone depletion over northern mid and high latitudes.In addition ozone episodes observed in the Arctic during polar sunrise are solely due to atmospheric bromine.CH3Br, CH2Br2 and CHBr3 are the major brominated gases in the atmosphere, of which CH3Br being most abundant, contributes about 50% and CH2Br2 around 7 to 10% of the total organic stratospheric bromine.Bromocarbons with shorter lifetimes like CHBr3 ,CH2BrCl, CHBr2Cl, CHBrCl2 and CH2BrI decompose before reaching the stratosphere, and are responsible for the ozone episodes.But for 3CHBr, which has also significant anthropogenic sources, all the aforementioned bromocarbons are mostly of marine origin.Halons (H-1211, H-1301, H-2402, H-1202) are solely anthropogenic and are far more stable.They decompose only after reaching the stratosphere.It is estimated that 39% of the stratospheric organic bromine (ª 7 pptv) loading is due to these halons.Increa- ses are being still registered in the atmospheric abundance of halons in spite of production restrictions.Though extensively investigated,the existing knowledge with regard to the pro- duction and degradation of atmospheric bromine gases, is not commensurate with its importance.

  • Recommended Standard Variable Names for Atmospheric Composition
    Atmospheric Composition Variable Standard Name Recommendations (Ver. 17, 12/16/2020) 4.1 Overview In the ICARTT V2.0 file format standard an additional variable definition, called a standard variable name, is now required in an effort to improve usability, standardization, and machine- readability. The standard variable name is designed to be a tag used along with the PI generated variable short name. This document recommends a set of guidelines for creating standard variable names for different types of measurements and provides a list of standard variable names that cover the current list of measurements conducted during the airborne filed studies on atmospheric composition. The proposed standard names are constructed using controlled vocabulary terms with four parts: measurement category (MeasurementCategory), core name (CoreName), measurement mode (MeasurementMode), and descriptive attributes (DescriptiveAttributes), which are separated by an underscore: Standard Name = MeasurementCategory_CoreName_MeasurementMode_DescriptiveAttributes This structure is similar to that of the Climate and Forecast Metadata Convention (CF) and the Geoscience Standard Names (GSN) ontology. It is designed to support data discovery, distribution, and use, by accurately describing all variables from different measurements/instruments while using a consistent format for interoperability. For data discovery, the MeasurementCategory and CoreName can be used to conduct a broad search to identify all measurements of the same physical quantity from different instruments and/or field studies. The DescriptiveAttributes can then be used to narrow down the search for data of interest. As discussed in later sections, the number and nature of DescriptiveAttributes are dependent on the type of measurement. 4.1.1 MeasurementCategory MeasurementCategory broadly groups all measurement standard names into one of twelve categories.

Additionally, it provides uniqueness when using only CoreNames could be ambiguous (e.g., a particle number concentration could be describing cloud droplets or aerosols). Within each MeasurementCategory, the format of each standard name is consistent (i.e. variable standard names within each category have the same number and type of descriptive attributes). The types and/or number of attributes have been tailored to each type of measurement (e.g., aerosol optical property vs. aerosol composition) or medium (e.g., trace gas vs. aerosol); therefore, MeasurementCategory is defined by the measurement medium and type of measurements.
